    In this paper, we verify the enhancement of IREC, which is a computer algorithm for interactive design support system, to support global design features as design attributes. IREC (Interactive Reduct Evolutional Computation) is a method to evolve designs based on users’ personal preferences. The method works through an interaction between the user and a computer system. The computer system with IREC generates design samples consisting of random attributes and the user evaluates and scores each samples depending on his/her psychological preferences. The system estimates the design attributes that the user pays more attention to (favored features) with reduct in Rough set theory and reflects it to generate new design samples. This interaction continues until the samples converge to a satisfactory design. So far design parameters such as coordinate of nodes for spline curve have been regarded as design attributes. However, design attributes consist of not only detailed local parameters...

    Web-based Learning using the Internet has recently become popular in engineering education. Yet, there are very few Internet-based systems that seem to promote learners' creativity in machining/manufacturing, engineering experimentation or development. The authors developed a novel Web-based remote design laboratory involving the rotor of a variable reluctance stepping motor. The remote learner designs the rotor, which is then machined by a modeling machine in the laboratory. The server-side ...
